NEW YORK, October 31, 2017 (PRESS RELEASE JET) – FutureProof Retail (FPR) and CloudIoT Co., in Saudi Arabia have entered into an exclusive partnership to enable retailers in Saudi Arabia to offer line-free mobile self-checkout and service counter solutions to their shoppers.

FPR’s mobile platform allows shoppers to use their smartphones to scan items while they are shopping, pay on their phone and skip the lines at checkout when they leave the store. Shoppers can see the current total of their shopping basket at any time. They can also pre-order deli items at service counters and receive a notification when they are ready for pickup.

Retailers can reach shoppers via the shopper app within and outside the store with personalized specials for each individual shopper increasing basket size and shopping frequency. A corresponding merchant app allows store associates to help shoppers in the aisles and alerts them if an ID check is required e.g. for age-restricted items. FPR’s solution seamlessly integrates with existing POS, payment and loyalty systems avoiding high upfront cost for hardware and integration.

“We are very excited about introducing our line free mobile checkout solution to retailers and shoppers in Saudi Arabia,” says Di Di Chan, President of FutureProof Retail. “CloudIoT is driving innovation in retail with a holistic approach to IT that incorporates a range of technologies and solutions.”

“CloudIoT’s partnership with FutureProof Retail brings the latest innovations to SaudiArabia, that help enterprises integrate and optimize their backend and frontend IT infrastructure and beyond in line with Vision 2030 of Saudi Arabia,” says its CEO, Bandar Saad Al Qahtani. CTO AbdulRahman AbdulKhudus added that “consumers in Saudi Arabia are ready for BYOD technologies in retail and other Industry sectors. There is big potential for line free checkout and self-scanning solutions in combination with other IoT & M2M technologies that allow retailers to optimize store operations.”

Carrie Brunner grew up in a small town in northern New Brunswick. She studied chemistry in college, graduated, and married her husband one month later. They were then blessed with two baby boys within the first four years of marriage. Having babies gave their family a desire to return to the old paths – to nourish their family with traditional, homegrown foods; rid their home of toxic chemicals and petroleum products; and give their boys a chance to know a simple, sustainable way of life. They are currently building a homestead from scratch on two little acres in central Texas. There’s a lot to be done to become somewhat self-sufficient, but they are debt-free and get to spend their days living this simple, good life together with their five young children. Carrie writes mostly on provincial stories.
